Was digging around and found this from August 2005 on the trail of Castle Peak, a Fourteener in Colorado.

I’m obviously very fat here, though this is not my maximum weight. As I recall this is around 220 lb. In December of 2006 I peaked at 235 lb. I’ve been approximately 185 lb since June of 2010. Not bad. Pretty fun comparing this to what I look like today.

Hard work, training, proper nutrition, discipline. When I became a mountaineer these are the things that came along with it and made me what I am today.
